It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. “There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. Their personal stories are incredibly touching, and it’s a much-needed reminder that every person has their own struggle and story. 💖 One of my favorite things about this book is that we also read from the perspectives of some of the side characters. I will warn you ahead of time that there is insta-love. 💞 Okay, technically it’s not insta-love but the possibility of falling in love.

Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store-for both of us. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Falling in love with him won’t be my story.ĭaniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations.

It was very different, and the topics it covered were extremely relatable and relevant to today’s society–deportation, identity, familial obligations, etc. I’m usually not a fan of contemporary books, but this one surprised me.
